  • Publication number: 20240372868
    Abstract: A computing network comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network is managed. A trusted device establishes a root of trust at the edge computing network via a trusted component on the trusted device. In response to receiving a first indication of a disconnection or degradation of communications between the computing service provider and the edge computing network, the edge computing network initiates an autonomous mode at the edge computing network. While the edge computing network is operating in the autonomous mode, the trusted device detects new devices that are attempting to access computing resources in the edge computing network. The trusted device stores data pertaining to new devices that were not authorized to access the computing resources in the edge computing network.

  • Publication number: 20240340658
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a network function configuration system that efficiently, accurately, and flexibly manages network function configurations in a cloud computing system for a 5G (and beyond) telecommunications network. For example, the network function configuration system utilizes configuration snapshots to perform batches of configuration updates atomically to network functions of a mobile packet core that is implemented in a cloud computing system. To illustrate, in a cloud computing system (such as a core network), network functions run in a current state. To modify the configuration snapshot to a desired state, numerous network function configuration changes must often be applied.
